The Rainforest

The Amazon forest occupies a relevant place on the international scene and its importance is recognized worldwide. The goal of this paper is to present general information about the Amazon area, showing the biodiversity and the environmental, social, and economic impact in exploring that area. This paper will also emphasize what are the values of that ecosystem to the world, explaining about several natural resources, fauna, and flora in the Amazon forest. The author supported his arguments on articles and books that are in the reference. As a result, the author provides an overview and some important details about that area, bringing arguments and evidences to show why is important take care of the Amazon forest.

I am writing you this letter to tell you about the importance of Rainforests’. A reason why rainforests are import is because they are like the lungs of the planet. The trees of the Rainforest suck up Carbon Dioxide and then they turn it into oxygen.Another fact is that Rainforests’ make a climate so perfect that there is lots of plant and animal life.If Rainforests got cut down, many of the types of animals that live in the Rainforest, would be endangered.

Rubber Tappers are the people that should have the land because We have organized to keep Amazonia intact for future generations. “the National Council of Rubber Tappers, and are fighting to save the forest from destruction, sometimes by sitting, with women and children, in the paths of bulldozers mowing down trees.”,We don't hurt the forest. “When the price of rubber dropped, most of the plantations were abandoned. But some rubber tappers stayed and continued to make their living in the rainforest.Rubber tappers remove sap from a rubber tree by making diagonal cuts in the bark. They collect the sap in cups. Removing the sap in this way does not harm the tree. This makes rubber tapping a sustainable activity.”,and We discovered the value of

Rainforests are the most valuable environmental entity on this earth as they provide the world with the majority of its species of animals and plants, food resources, and

The tropical rainforest is home to a great variety of plants, trees, flowers, animals, birds, insects, and reptiles. Due to the great variety, there are groups that are interested in the tropical rainforest like rubber tapers, farmers, cattle ranchers, and loggers. the issue is that there are so many different things that each group want to do with the Amazon rainforest and no one knows who should have the rainforest. The rubber tappers have lived in the Amazon rainforest for many generations and they collect the sap from rubber trees that grow in the Amazon rainforest. Cattle ranchers already own a small part of the Amazon rainforest. The loggers want the wood from the trees to make buildings such as hospitals and important office buildings.

Did you know that the rainforest is a fantastic biome? It has three parts that make it special. The forest is also home to more plant life than any other. It’s pretty big. Rainforests have a climate and appearance, producers, and consumers specific to the ecosystem.

The Amazon Rainforest has an issue that needs to be fixed. The problem that the rainforest has is that the groups continue to cut or burn down trees just so they can grow crops. It needs to stop because it’s hurting The Rubber Tappers. They need the trees to do their job and the government isn’t doing enough to help out. The Rubber Tappers have been living in the rainforest for 100’s of years. The Rubber Tappers came in the 1870’s. As you can see in their way of living does no harm to the rainforest. They make their way of living from the rainforest by harvesting sap from the rubber trees. The Rubber Tappers should have control of the Amazon Rainforest and here are some reasons why. For example, The Rubber Tappers use the resource of the Amazon by

Tropical rainforests have long been home to indigenous peoples who have shaped civilizations and cultures based on the environment in which they live. Great civilizations like the Mayas, Incas, and Aztecs developed complex societies and made great contributions to science. Living from nature and lacking the technology to dominate their environment, native peoples have learned to watch their surroundings and understand the intricacies of the rainforest. Over generations these people have learned the importance of living within their environment and have come to rely on the countless renewable benefits that forests can provide.

In the instance of rainforests, conservation would mean to protect the untouched rainforests and to restore the damaged ones. Rainforests are valuable to the Earth as it acts as a worldwide thermostat by regulating temperatures and weather patterns. Rainforests are home to almost half of species of animals and plants on the planet. Rainforests play an important part in the absorbent of carbon dioxide and the production of oxygen. Rainforests are decreasing at a rate of 6000 acres an hour. Rainforests are home to between 50%-90% of the world’s animal species but because of deforestation at least one species is disappearing a day. Rainforests are a vital source of rainforests and many foods and other products originate from rainforests, including coffee, cocoa, spices, rubber and dyes. Rainforests release moisture into the atmosphere which returns as rain, when the forest is cleared the water cycle is disrupted which causes temperatures to increase and droughts to become more

Social and technological development has negatively affected the native people of the Amazon Rainforest. Challenges such as increasing population size, climate change and global warming, market integration and trade, deforestation, the price of development, and resurgent protectionists are social and ecological threats to native Amazonian life and culture. Their ability to be resilient to these changes requires cooperation, organization, adaptation, and eventually conformation.

The rainforest should be used in a sustainable way, here are a few ways they can be. According to the notes it states, “ Rubber Tappers do not hurt trees they just leave diagonal marks (also know as cuts) so that they can continue to tap that tree for rubber.”. The Rubber Tappers feel that they should be able to keep on tapping trees because they are not hurting the trees. If they have been there for more than 1 centurie they should be able to use the resources, and have no problem at all with other people living in the rain forest. There is one group of people that is living in the rainforest that are bothering the Rubber Tappers, they are the Loggers.

The Amazon Rainforest is the largest and most biodiverse tract of tropical rainforest in the world. Some of the different groups that are interested in the Amazon Rainforest are the Native Amazonians, Rubber Tappers, Loggers, Settlers, Environmental Groups, and Cattle Ranchers.All of the groups in the Amazon all desire or want parts of the Amazon Rainforest.Some of the groups just want more land and some just want power.

And that isn’t quite surprising considering that people don’t know that there are organizations out. The tropical rainforest is located between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. The tropical rainforest is in parts of South America, Africa, and in Southern Asia. The tropical rainforests living specimens are all in the food web, most are plants and animals. At the bottom of the food web are the plants. Many plants get eaten by herbivores. Plants, though, use photosynthesis to get their energy and food. Some plants are the Brazilian Nut Tree, the Strangler Fig Tree, and the Kapok Tree. In the middle are the prey, they are herbivores and the predators eat them. Some animals are the toucan, red-eyed tree frog, and the orangutan. At the top are the predators, they are known as the strongest of the food web. The predators will always eat the weakest below them like prey. Some animals include the tiger, red tailed hawk and

Environmental groups support the native amazonians and would like to help them keep their land. Here are some ways to stop deforestation. We can try to make corporations help, they have the power to destroy the rainforest but they also have the power to protect it. There are many things companies can do to stop deforestation or at least bring it down to a much smaller amount than it currently is at. We can help by supporting and buying products using recycled wood. If we support corporations helping the problem of deforestation then other companies will join in and also start to do things to stop the deforestation happening in the amazon rainforest. The government has a super important role in the stopping of deforestation and needs to do its part if we ever want to stop the shrinking of the amazon. In the United States we have laws and treaties to stop illegal wood from getting into our markets and we need to get these kind of things

Amazonia possesses the world’s largest remaining area of tropical rainforest. The region is an increasingly important source of natural assets for both regional and economic growth. As the frontier advances, however, the amazon is being threatened by the destruction of the forest. The ‘extractive reserve’ model attempts to combine forest preservation with a workable development effort (DeStefano & Raymond, 1992, p. 5). It aims to achieve this through a strategy of joint management between local communities and government institutions. It is hoped that over time these extractive reserves will build economic strength and achieve sustainability. In the long run, however, the reserves will require locally generated income be supplemented by valuable export revenue. The growth of these extractive reserves depends on advancing a number of economic, geopolitical and social goals (Hall, 1991, p. 57-70). The extractive reserve was a major policy innovation, since it officially incorporated local populations for the first time in the process of natural resource management. In theory, extractive reserves are an ingenious solution for the problem of protecting inhabited forests. However, research shows that extractive reserves face several major challenges in order to obtain sustainability. Of which include: generating higher household incomes, rewarding forest stewardship, improving financial support (Gradwhol & Greenberg, 1988, p.
